• Caught up in a dark embrace
    I stared at my mother's lifeless face

    It was only a moment ago
    when I watched her life go

    A grim looking pally
    dragged her into an unlit alley

    He licked her cheek and called her honey
    as shouted at her for her money

    When she refused he took off his hat
    and beat her with a wooden bat

    Caught up in a dark embrace
    I stared at my mother's lifeless face

    On his back
    was a burlap sack

    He planned to dump her in the river
    I picked up a metal sliver

    He saw me
    and I would be the last thing he would see

    After that
    I could imagine the metal going into his heart SPLAT

    I could see his soul slipping into hell
    After that, I did not feel well

    I stumbled out into the street
    hearing the noise of people's feet

    "Look at me
    what do you see

    Mother look at me
    what do you see

    Where has my mind and soul been
    I have committed an awful sin"

    I missed my mother's warm embrace
    and now I could only imagine her lifeless face
